I have a situation that I have to manually sync one disk to the other and keep the copy as fresh as possible. Any (possibly free) software for it?
OS: Windows XP x86

If you have WinXP Pro, you could keep the two disks in a RAID 1 array so they are automatically mirrored on a filesystem level.
Edit:
XXCLONE appears to be a simple filesystem cloner that doesn't need to work on a disk I/O level (like by booting a live CD). It seems to be free for whole-disk backups, but has the functionality for faster incremental backups if you pay for the Pro version.
DriveImage XML might be another option.

Unfortunately, you won't. XP doesn't have mirroring enabled :( I thought that it would be an option, and was greatly surprised that it isn't. Commented Dec 30, 2010 at 23:28

Oh well, such is Microsoft. Maybe the software listed above will help? Commented Dec 30, 2010 at 23:43

I found the SyncTOY that is ok with me - it can even be scheduled via command line version. Commented Dec 31, 2010 at 13:39
